Yeah No Yeah

In the final episode of Yeah No Yeah, Molly and Katie explore death as they celebrate the life of their 5-year-old podcast. They talk Zoom funerals, the experience of dying, embalming, and the funeral industry. Then the film turns grainy and unfocused as a montage of the girls recording in  apartments in New York and Texas plays. They've screamed at 5 and 1-star reviews alike, fought with strangers on Twitter, and made friends on Patreon and Instagram. Yes, it had been a wild ride for the girls, but all good things must come to an end. Better to go out on a high note than wither away slowly and run out of ideas.  Good night and see you on the other side! 

Find out what Katie meant when she told her elementary school class: "My Dad is on an African safari." On this penultimate episode, the gals talk consequences and life at the Big House.  There's a cottage industry of former inmates who prepare white-collar criminals for their sentences, plus the shining examples set by "Club Fed" stars like Martha Stewart and Lori Loughlin. YouTube and Instagram have their own felonious stars who bring us surprising (and handy!) jailtime hacks.

Katie and Andrew are getting married! (And in a beautiful twist, Molly got engaged shortly after this was recorded. To a (very) different Andrew.) So it's a good thing Molly did so much wedding research because it turns out most wedding traditions are based on a.) fear of evil spirits b.) capitalism. Find out what you can do to keep your marriage free of evil spirits and chock full o' Queen Victoria. Also in this episode: Katie reveals why being a bridesmaid made her decide against having any bridesmaids.
